Terrace Talk: Man United - So, now begins the ‘Fortnight of Purgatory’

The ‘Week from Hell’ duly ended on Wednesday with the thoroughly expected defeat to City. So, now begins the ‘Fortnight of Purgatory’.

Apologies if I am being imprecise with my Catholic terminology — and, yes, I do know purgatory was actually officially chalked off as offside back in the 1960s. But these next two games promise to be very trying. Our failure to convert at Old Trafford last night means we have only the slimmest chance left of a Champions League place, no matter how many points we garner.
